Terrazas 2011 Torrontés Reserva White Wine

Terrazas 2011 Torrontés Reserva,$11.89-$13.99,87 points, appeared a light bronze trending straw yellow and clear at the glass shallows.Honeysuckle, soft vanilla notes, a hint of petrol, and cantaloupe aromas were good.The body was light-plus and carried good acidity with a creamy texture until the long finish of black pepper and ginger spices gave an edginess to this Torrontés.Flavors mirrored the aromas with some lemon zest and hints of the 13.5% alcohol.This was an unoaked Torrontés, and like an unoaked Chardonnay, seems to me to be a cleaner example of this white wine.Index-of-reviewed-wines
